Death        
Note

This could be Elizabeth's death, although there was another Elizabeth Grant, widow of a school teacher who died in the same time period. But that one had as an informant Rose Grant, daughter. I don't see a Rose in the Catholic parish baptism registers, as transcribed, for this family.
